Abstract

Upon confinement of a trinuclear gold(I) pyrazolate complex in a hexagonal silicate channel, the luminescence center formed by a AuI–AuI metallophilic interaction is not only protected against thermal disruption but also strongly encouraged to self-recover from a heat-induced structural damage. This nanoscopic template effect is negligible for a lamellar silica framework.
